Just as Zhu Gaochi and his friends were studying how to expand their sphere of influence in the Americas, an exhibition related to the Americas was also held far away in Beijing, the city of Ming Dynasty.

Not far from the south of the bank headquarters, there is a huge newly built building. This building was originally used for commercial exchanges. For example, some newly produced commodities will be sent here for exhibition, and some merchants from other places can also come here to publish some commercial information. After all, this is a capital city, and the daily commodity transaction amount is also extremely huge.

However, today it has completely changed. There are various exhibition items in the wide hall, and each exhibition item is specially inspected and introduced. These exhibition items are very rich, such as various ores, animal specimens, and various decorations that are rough but extremely expensive, etc.

All of these exhibitions are specialties from the Americas, so the name of the exhibition is naturally also called the American Property Exhibition. The organizer of this exhibition is nominally a bank, but in fact many people know that it is actually the exhibition organized by the Prince Consort Li Jie.

With the gradual promotion of high-yield crops such as potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes, the name America has long been spread throughout the Ming Dynasty. Many of them also saw the opportunity to make a fortune, so they risked their death at sea to travel to America. This is how the gold diggers on the Gold Harbor came.

However, most gold diggers are poor people. Really good merchants can get more than ten times the profit by purchasing some specialties from the Americas and transporting them back to the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, in recent years, there have been many goods in the market that are claimed to be shipped from the Americas.

However, it is difficult to tell whether the American goods on the market are true or false. After all, there are only a few people who have been to the Americas. Many illegal merchants directly say that the goods collected from Nanyang are American goods, and the price can be increased several times immediately. Many people have been deceived.

So in this case, the bank held this American property exhibition under the banner of America, which also attracted many merchants to visit. After all, the bank's credibility is still very strong, so the American property at the exhibition must be true. In this way, they can also distinguish the authenticity of American goods on the market.

Of course, in addition to merchants, it also attracted more people who were interested in the Americas. Because this exhibition does not charge money, anyone can go in and visit, so even farmers outside Beijing rushed to see the fun in groups.

Li Jie stood on the second floor of the hall, looking at the crowded exhibition below, with a smile on his face. Although he had known for a long time that this exhibition would definitely attract many people, he was still a little surprised when he saw so many people visiting with his own eyes. You must know that the exhibition has been held for almost half a month, but there are still crowds of people every day, which is enough to show the success of the exhibition.

"Brother-in-law, after the exhibition is over, more people will probably take the risk to America." At this moment, Zhu Xueqing brought tea to Li Jie and smiled.

"Yes, Gao Chi has gone to America and officially kicked off the development of America. This also requires more manpower and material resources. The support of the court is always limited. Only by allowing more people to participate can a virtuous cycle be formed and their pace of development of America be accelerated!" Li Jie also said proudly at this time.

The purpose of Li Jie to hold this exhibition is of course not only to make merchants familiar with the products of America, but also to convey a message to the entire society, that is, the prosperity of America. Only in this way can more people be attracted to rush to America spontaneously. No matter what they do, they will add a help to Zhu Di and his friends in the development of America.

"America, sometimes I really want to go to America in person to see what it looks like?" Zhu Xueqing suddenly sighed with a little yearning. Although she is a woman, she has been in charge of banks over the years, and her vision and knowledge have long been far beyond ordinary people, and she is also very yearning for America.

"Yes, sometimes I want to go to America, but unfortunately I may not be able to go there in a short period of time, unless the steamboat can travel smoothly between the Ming and America in the future." Li Jie also said helplessly at this time.

Although Zhu Diding's steamship has been put into the water and has been tested, it is said that its performance is quite good and there are not many places that need to be modified. However, even if the ship is built, several ports are needed along the way. The construction of these ports is also a problem, so it is probably impossible to travel in a short period of time.

"Brother-in-law, don't think about it. Even if the steamboat can pass, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will not agree to you going to America." Zhu Xueqing suddenly smiled and said.

"I won't come back after I go. His Majesty cannot go by himself. Of course, he has to send someone he trusts to America to see him. Who else can this person besides me?" Li Jie retorted.

"That's not necessarily. Why don't we bet?" Zhu Xueqing smiled again and said. Li Jie's identity is too special. Zhu Yunxiu can't live without him. America is too far away. Even if there is a steamboat, it cannot guarantee complete safety, so Zhu Yunxiu will definitely not agree to let Li Jie take risks.

"Just bet, what do you want to bet?" Li Jie said without backing down.

"Then let's bet..." Zhu Xueqing suddenly smiled mischievously when she said this, and then whispered a few words in Li Jie's ear.

As a result, Li Jie was a little unnatural after hearing this, but then he raised his chest and said, "No problem, just bet on this. If you lose, don't cheat!"

However, just as Li Jie finished speaking, the venue below suddenly became a little confused. Then two yamen runners were holding a middle-aged man and dragging him out. However, the middle-aged man shouted while walking: "My gold! gold!"

"Another madman!" Li Jie was speechless when he looked at the situation below. He didn't need to ask him at all. He knew that it must be something happened in the golden area again.

The so-called golden area is a special area of ​​the exhibition. It is filled with gold mined from the Americas. The sand alone is piled into a hill that is more than one person high, and there are also several natural gold nuggets, commonly known as dog-headed gold. These exhibits are all covered with thick glass, so visitors can only see but not touch them.

But even so, such a large amount of gold accumulated together still had a huge psychological impact on many people, so several incidents of tourists losing control occurred during this period. For these people, they were usually put outside the venue to calm down, and the government would not hold them accountable.

However, these golds reminded Li Jie that with the development of America, the Ming Dynasty also faced some impact, and the first thing he was to bear was the banking system he established.
